Sitting on top of the Orbiter Transport System (OTS), Atlantis awaits the 9.8 mile trip to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex where she will go on permanent display. Tomorrow will mark the first time since 1979 an orbiter has not called KSC home.

SpaceEngine - A free space simulation program that lets you explore the universe in three dimensions, from planet Earth to the most distant galaxies. Areas of the known universe are represented using actual astronomical data, while regions uncharted by astronomy are generated procedurally. Millions of galaxies, trillions of stars, countless planets - all available for exploration. You can land any planet, moon or asteroid and watch alien landscapes and celestial phenomena. You can even pilot starships and atmospheric shuttles.
Das sich noch im Bau befindende Kunsthaus, ebenfalls auf dem Gelände der Kuchelbauer Brauerei Abensberg, wurde von Peter Pelikan einem Wiener Architekten geschaffen. Es handelt sich dabei um den gleichen Architekten, der den Hundertwasser Turm vollendet hat. Wenn das Kunsthaus fertig ist, soll es ein Museum, ein Wiener Kaffe und Räumlichkeiten für Ausstellungen beherbergen.
The still under construction art house, also on the grounds of the brewery Kuchelbauer Abensberg, was created by a Viennese architect Peter Pelikan. It is by the same architect who has completed the Hundertwasserturm. If the art house is finished, it will house a museum, a Viennese coffee and space for exhibitions.
The Space Shuttle Enterprise was the first Space Shuttle Orbiter. It was the test shuttle and never actualy made it into space.
It has been housed here at the Udvar Hazy Air & Space Museum since 2003 when this remote site of the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum opened.
My son's daycare class was learning about space and the planets this week and since it is blazing hot here I thought it'd be a nice treat to go visit the museum. He LOVED IT!!!
I shot this with my 24-70mm and wanted to get it with my 14mm that I had in my bag, but a very "informative" tour guide brought a group of visitors up right where I was standing. I waited for him to finish, but his talking outlasted my sons patience. *SIGH*
Aftermath of a research space rocket launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base near Downtown L.A. It's a bit blurry, because I don't have a Tripod. I used the Mustang's rear window as a tripod replacement. With little success ;)

Discovery was the third Space Shuttle orbiter vehicle to fly in space. It entered service in 1984 and retired from spaceflight as the oldest and most accomplished orbiter, the champion of the shuttle fleet. Discovery flew on 39 Earth-orbital missions, spent a total of 365 days in space, and traveled almost 240 million kilometers (150 million miles)--more than the other orbiters. It shuttled 184 men and women into space and back, many of whom flew more than once, for a record-setting total crew count of 251.
Because Discovery flew every kind of mission the Space Shuttle was meant to fly, it embodies well the 30-year history of U.S. human spaceflight from 1981 to 2011. Named for renowned sailing ships of exploration, Discovery is preserved as intact as possible as it last flew in 2011 on the 133rd Space Shuttle mission.
NASA transferred Discovery to the Smithsonian in April 2012 after a delivery flight over the nation's capital.

This is the Space Shuttle Main Engine (SSME). Three SSME's plus two Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs) power the reusable Space Shuttle. Each SSME produces 375,000 lbs of thrust or a total of 1,125,000 lbs and uses liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen as propellants.
This SSME is made of up of components of SSMEs that have flown into space. The flights have included the first four Shuttle missions, the second Hubble Space Telescope repair mission, the missions that launched the Magellan and Galileo space probes, and the John Glenn flight. The engine was donated by Rocketdyne to the Smithsonian in 2004.

Space Needle
The Space Needle is an observation tower in Seattle, Washington, a landmark of the Pacific Northwest, and a symbol of Seattle. Built in the Seattle Center for the 1962 World's Fair, which drew over 2.3 million visitors, nearly 20,000 people a day used its elevators.
Hey everyone, I'm back, and this time I want to show you something different. This build was built as a part of "Out of This World Space Builds" on lego ideas, and was built as a 3D model because of lack of parts. It represents a small laboratory located on Mars, or whatever other planet that you want it on. On the exterior you can see it has rounded windows, entrance and on the top a small greenhouse, while in the interior you have a computer with a litle stand for samples of stones or whatever. It also has plenty of room to fit a minifigure. This was built as a hexagonal build wich takes up 10x12 stud space. Although it is a mecabricks build, all interactions between bricks have been previously checked with phisical bricks. Overall build contains 241 bricks. I would appreciate if you would drop a like or comment on lego ideas entry. It's called "Space Laboratory", original, isn't it. Here's the link:

I hope you like it!
12-01-28 05-36-13 I am glad I got up early this morning, the seeing was mushy for Mars but steadied up a bit for Saturn. You can see the northern polar region in this image. Good to see the rings open again too.

The Space Needle at night with the childrens museum lit up in the fore-ground. this is by far my favorite shot I have ever gotten of the space needle!
From the Japanese series "Space Battleship Yamato," which saw a limited run in the USA as "Starblazers."
The 160mm long miniature is from Megahouse, and made in China. Where else would a heroic Japanese battleship be made?
Tech: focus stacked image made from seven images taken with a tripod-mounted Canon EOS 60D. f/16, and the focus steps were made manually. Merged in PhotoAcute Studio.
Strobist: Yongnuo YN-560 III with a Rogue Grid on camera left; Yongnuo YN-560 camera right with a Rogue beam bender, bent into a snoot, with a blue gel. All fired with Yongnuo RF-603 C3 radio triggers.

this is the detail of a half sphere steel structure. it's made of these triangles and that's what i like about triangles. one can construct any shape/surface by using triangles...
The first Space Shuttle, Enterprise, is a test vehicle designed to operate in the atmosphere; it is not equipped for spaceflight. Enterprise was rolled out at Rockwell International's assembly facility in Palmdale, California in 1976. In 1977, it entered service at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards Air Force Base, for a nine-month-long approach and landing test program. The vehicle was flown atop the Boeing 747 Shuttle carrier aircraft and also released for piloted free-flights and landings to check out all systems and performance characteristics. This test program was a necessary prelude to the first orbital flight by the Space Shuttle Columbia in 1981.
Upon completion of the approach and landing tests, Enterprise was used for vibration tests at Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama and for launch complex fit checks at Kennedy Space Center in Florida and Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. In 1983, it appeared in the Paris Air Show and other sites in Europe, and was a featured attraction at the 1984 World's Fair in New Orleans. In 1985, NASA transferred Enterprise to the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum where it remained in a storage hangar at Washington's Dulles International Airport. In November, 2003, Enterprise was moved to the nearby Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center where it will be on public display while it is restored.
